Chapter 4-1 Speaker Placement
Location, location, location:
Properly set up in a typical
home, your SVS speaker package, backed by a high quality subwoofer,
will provide startlingly realistic reproduction of any sort of music or movie
soundtrack.
Take time to carefully unpack everything. Look thoroughly in each box.
Locate all the items you’ll need to proceed to installing your speakers
(tools, wire, wall brackets, SPL meter, etc.). Save the box and shipping
materials, just in case you need to return a component or move your
system to a new home.
Where you put your speakers can be just as key as how well they are
designed! Discussions in this section of your manual are meant to
provide general guidance. We encourage some experimentation in
placement as your time and room allows.
Later, we will also review your receiver or audio processor settings, and
touch on DVD or CD player internal settings too, which can affect sound
just as where you place your speakers will. In the final chapter we
outline how to achieve a realistic blend between all your speakers and
your sub.
Speaker Placement:
Any speaker tends to benefit from
placement spaced somewhat from rear or side walls. Ideally you should
arrange to have all tweeters (the small element in your cabinet) at ―ear
height‖, or tilted to point towards your seats. Attempt to place them so
you sit an equal distance from each speaker cabinet.
